When cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to wipe off the charred skin. Halve, seed devein and dice the roasted jalapeño. Then halve, seed, and dice the remaining raw jalapeño.
-
In the bowl of a small food processor, purée the peas with the roasted jalapeño, raw jalapeño and cilantro. Process until almost smooth but still a little chunky.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, scallions, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and the pea purée. Mash until well combined, but still a little chunky. Taste and adjust the salt and lime juice as needed.

Serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges, if desired.
Recipe Notes
- Alternatively, if you have a gas stove, you can roast the jalapeno by turning a burner to the highest setting and setting the pepper directly on the flame. Use a pair of tongs to turn the pepper until the skin is completely blackened.
- To keep the guacamole from turning brown, press a piece of plastic wrap directly over top and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
